Tan Son Nhat Golf Course, located just 4 kilometers from the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, offers a unique golfing experience adjacent to Vietnam's busiest airport. Designed by Nelson & Haworth, this 156-hectare, 36-hole course features significant earth mounding, numerous water hazards, large bunkers, and undulating greens. The use of Paspalum turf ensures excellent playing conditions year-round, making it a reliable choice in any season.
The course is divided into four nines, each providing a distinct challenge. Course A is situated in a developing area with future accommodations, while Courses B, C, and D begin at the clubhouse. Courses C and D demand precision off the tee, whereas A and B require strategic play. Notably, the par-5 holes are long and often play into the wind, while the par-3s offer scoring opportunities if you avoid the greenside bunkers.
Standout holes include the strategic par-4 sixth on Course A and the challenging par-3 fifth on Course D, which plays over water. The clubhouse, one of the largest in Asia, offers a variety of dining options, specializing in Korean cuisine. Night golf is available, providing a unique way to enjoy the game under the stars.
Facilities include a pro shop, driving range, and excellent practice areas. Managed under the Vietnam Ministry of Defense, the course provides a professional atmosphere with caddies who are attentive and helpful. Tan Son Nhat Golf Course is a must-visit for those golfing in Saigon, combining convenience with a memorable golfing experience.
Long Thanh Golf Club & Residential Estate, located 30 kilometers north of Ho Chi Minh City, offers a unique golfing experience with its 36-hole layout designed by Ron Fream. Nestled amidst former rice paddies, the club provides stunning views of the Vietnamese capital, making it a preferred choice for local and international golfers alike.
The club features two distinct courses: the Hill and Lake Courses. The Hill Course is known for its rolling fairways and large, undulating greens framed by majestic oil palms. In contrast, the Lake Course presents a challenge with its high-lipped bunkers and water hazards on nearly every hole. Both courses are meticulously maintained, with Paspalum grass on the fairways and Tifdwarf Bermuda on the greens, ensuring a smooth and consistent play.
Golfers will find the signature 4th hole on the Hill Course particularly memorable. This par-3 requires precision with its two challenging greens, surrounded by water and the iconic 'Great Wall of Long Thanh.' Another standout is the par-5, 14th hole, where strategic play is crucial due to the narrowing fairway and surrounding hazards.
The club offers an elegant clubhouse with luxurious locker rooms, a well-stocked pro shop, and a restaurant serving Vietnamese and Western cuisine. With excellent caddies and optional golf carts, Long Thanh provides a memorable golfing experience, making it a must-visit destination for any serious golfer visiting Vietnam.
